Always make sure that before a particular unit is read, its objectives have been understood as this will provide the overall picture of the unit. Try and read the recommended textbooks and other related materials in order to deepen your understanding of the course. Each unit has a self-assessment question, which you are expected to use in assessing your knowledge of the course. Note down the areas that seem unclear and need more clarification.
